Liverpool vs. Southampton Liverpool’s invincible start came to an end on Monday night, where they drew 2-2 and play a Southampton team lacking in goals! Best match odds: · Liverpool – 11/20 BetVictor · Draw – 10/3 Sportingbet · Southampton – 7/1 Coral Dean Sturridge scored again on Monday night making him the first player in Liverpool Premier League history to score in each of Liverpool’s first four games of the season. Sturridge is as big as 23/20 with BetVictor to score in 90 minutes and as short as 8/13 with William Hill, so tread carefully. Interesting that Southampton have won four of the six last meetings between the pair, with Liverpool winning the last two at Anfield by a 1-0 score line. With that stat, and four of the last five Premier League games being won by Liverpool 1-0, Ladbrokes have them at 13/2 to win 1-0! With Southampton lacking goals, and Liverpool’s great start to the season, we feel that offering straight evens on both teams not to score is a fantastic bet. Recommendation: · Both teams not to score – 1/1 Coral Newcastle vs. Hull These two sides in the north-east could be relegation contenders, with Newcastle buying a little time pocketing three points away last weekend. Best match odds: · Newcastle – 5/6 Coral · Draw – 13/5 Ladbrokes · Hull – 19/5 Ladbrokes Hull have a good record here, winning three of the last four visits to St James Park, although Hull have struggled for wins in the Premier League. There has been a lack of goals at St James Park with a single goal being seen, with the home side scoring just one goal at home in the last five. With the teams opening up may see some action, although with the tense derby may be a tight affair. The last five Hull games have all seen fewer than three goals. Newcastle have seen a similar result in four of the last six, so taking Boylesports at 4/5 for under 2.5 is a take! Recommendation: · Under 2.5 goals – 4/5 Boylesports West Brom vs. Sunderland West Brom have got off to a right nightmare thus far mustering one goal, with Sunderland also struggling for goals may only indicate one result? Best match odds: · West Brom – 11/10 Coral · Draw – 5/2 BetVictor · Sunderland – 14/5 Paddy Power There is a weak case to suggest West Brom are even worth considering with their start, and despite winning six of the last seven meeting playing a Sunderland side that do not fare well on the road. There is a case for the draw and Sunderland at the prices quoted. West Brom have failed to win any of their last eight games. Both teams have seen a lack of goals, and either team would see this as a game where they will both see as winnable. With the lack of goals, surely seeing fewer than 1.5 goals especially at 5/2 is worth a look as a side bet with Betway. Recommendations: · Under 2.5 goals – 4/5 Boylesports OR · Under 1.5 goals – 5/2 Betway for the bigger price! West Ham Vs. Everton The Toffee’s will be looked on as fancied to nick this, with the added confidence of knocking Chelsea over last weekend, spirits will be high still. Best match odds: · West Ham – 11/5 Bet365 · Draw – 12/5 BetVictor · Everton – 7/5 Ladbrokes Everton are on the short side to win this despite their win last weekend. West Ham have struggled for goals and have had just six shots on target this season. Everton have won six of the last ten games against West Ham, which at the same time has seen three red cards in the last three encounters. West Ham have failed to score in 284 goal minutes now and have scored just three goals. Again fewer than 2.5 goals at 4/5 with Boylesports is worth taking, as the Everton defence is resilient, and West Ham are generally good at home recording the majority of their points last season. Anyone wanting big prices may consider a win to nil at 7/2 with Betway. Recommendation: · Under 2.5 goals – 4/5 Boylesports
